Clauses in the lists retained by postgres_fdw during planning were sometimes bare boolean clauses, sometimes RestrictInfos, and sometimes a mixture of the two in the same list. The comment about that situation didn't come close to telling the full truth, either. Aside from being confusing, this had a couple of bad practical consequences: * waste of planning cycles due to inability to cache per-clause selectivity and cost estimates; * sometimes, RestrictInfos would sneak into the fdw_private list of a finished Plan node, causing failures if, for example, we tried to ship the Plan tree to a parallel worker. (It may well be that it's a bug in the parallel-query logic that we would ever try to ship such a plan to a parallel worker, but in any case this deserves to be cleaned up.) To fix, rearrange so that clause lists in PgFdwRelationInfo are always lists of RestrictInfos, and then strip the RestrictInfos at the last minute when making a Plan node. In passing do a bit of refactoring and comment cleanup in postgresGetForeignPlan and foreign_join_ok. Although the messiness here dates back at least to 9.6, there's no evidence that it causes anything worse than wasted planning cycles in 9.6, so no back-patch for now.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
